Research on the Mechanical Properties of Bamboo Fiber Core Board for Sofa Cushion
To test the performance of bamboo fiber core board in cushion filling and so explore the possibility of using it as a substitute for sponge in sofa cushion,a series of mechanical performance tests were conducted to compare and ana-lyze the mechanical properties of bamboo fiber core board with different densities.The effect of material density on the related properties of core boards was explored,and it was compared with the filling sponge used for sofa cushions with an aim to select the bamboo fiber core material parameters with better performance.The performance tests were conduct-ed in aspects of material rebound rate,indentation hardness,compression deformation characteristics,24-hour deforma-tion recovery rate,and constant load impact fatigue testing of the material.The testing results showed that the indentation hardness of the material increases with the increasing density,while the rebound rate,compression deformation charac-teristics,and deformation recovery rate decrease with increasing density.The comprehensive analysis showed that materi-al density has a significant impact on the basic properties of bamboo fiber core board.The material performance of low-density bamboo fiber core board is relatively similar to that of sofa sponge,and there is a feasibility of replacing it for filling applications.
